Host Laura Jones examines one of the most closely watched races in the 2026 midterms: New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District. Republican incumbent Congressman Tom Kean Jr. has just returned to Washington after nearly four months away from Congress, during which he missed more than 140 roll call votes while being treated for depression. Laura is joined by two expert guests: Micah Rasmussen, Director of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics at Rider University and Dr. Tara Chalakani, award-winning psychotherapist and CEO of Preferred Behavioral Health Group.
